Teacher of Humanities with Social Sciences

The Governors of Holy Trinity School wish to appoint a dynamic, forward looking candidate to this post. This is a great opportunity for an excellent teacher to join a successful department, and to develop their career in a good school.

We are a Good school (Ofsted; November 2014), which through its distinctive Christian character, is Outstanding at meeting the needs of all learners (SIAMS; November 2015). There is a real desire and drive within the school to transform good to great.

The successful candidate will need to offer a combination of teaching at least one subject to A level from RS, Geography, History, Psychology and Sociology as well as teaching RS, Geography and History to KS3/4. We require a flexible practitioner who has the enthusiasm, skill and ability to make a positive contribution to this motivated and successful team. The post is equally suitably for an established teacher or an NQT. Applicants will need to evidence their commitment to excellent teaching and learning; to securing good or better outcomes for students; to developing student potential and skills from KS3 onwards, and to promoting the study of their subjects at A Level.

The successful candidate will be an excellent teacher who can provide clear evidence of their suitability for this post.

Applicants will need to demonstrate:

• Excellent classroom practice
• Their commitment to the teaching of Humanities and Social Science subjects  across 11-18 age range;
• Ability to teach to A level
•  How their experience to date equips them for the challenges of this post. 
• That they are willing to uphold our values and ethos as a faith school

In return we offer:

• Comprehensive induction
• Ongoing support, including a good programme of CPL.
• An extensive coaching network to share good practice
• An introduction to the TEEP programme (www.teep.org.uk) to enhance teaching and learning in the classroom. 

This is an excellent Church of England Voluntary Aided 11-18 mixed Comprehensive School where we pride ourselves in the pastoral care and development of all students. The post offers an unmissable opportunity for candidates wishing to make a positive impact on student and team progress, and who are able to provide innovative ideas to achieve this goal.
